There has been some confusion about the 5th gear ratio in the B4 Passats. This chart (trans code "CTN") appears to confirm that B4 Passats have a .76 5th gear ratio vs. the .72 shown in Bentley . Bentley shows a CHA trans for the TDI, both my '96 and '97 use the CTN.
But even allowing for the different trans code, the final drive and 4th gear ratios in Bentley are incorrectly calculated. No suprise. Bentley is full of these kind of calculation/conversion/misprint errors.
